The City of Macaé Maintained Its Position as the Largest Generator of Job Vacancies for the Second Consecutive Year

Macaé is the city in Brazil that generates the most jobs, and it has maintained this position for the second consecutive year. After all, the municipality recorded around 20,7 thousand new job vacancies between 2021 and 2022. In this sense, just in 2022, 8,7 thousand new job opportunities were created in the oil, industry, and oil and gas sectors.

This points to the fact that the city has a superheated economy, which is a result of years of investment and great effort from the municipal government. Furthermore, we are talking about direct job creation, not taking into account the indirect jobs, which increase this share.

Offshore Segment, Industry, and Commerce Stood Out in the Creation of New Job Opportunities

The impressive numbers regarding job creation in the city of Macaé were obtained from the General Register of Employed and Unemployed (Caged). Among the segments that had the most job vacancies created, the offshore sector brought the most impressive data. After all, there were over 5,7 thousand new jobs created in just 2022.

However, the industry and commerce sectors also significantly contributed to these results from Caged. Within construction and industry, there were 4,8 thousand new job opportunities, while commerce generated 1,1 thousand new jobs.

The TEPOR Project for the Construction of a New Port in Macaé Will Further Increase Job Vacancies

Much of these job opportunities recorded by Caged were driven by the oil and gas sector. However, the TEPOR project will make a significant contribution to increasing the number of new jobs.

But what exactly is the TEPOR project?

According to the words of the Secretary of Economic Development, Rodrigo Vianna, TEPOR is the key to making Macaé the great energy city. In the project for a new port in the city, which already has all the construction licenses, over R$ 25 billion has been invested.

Additionally, it is estimated that this new infrastructure will be essential for the energy transition in the state of Rio de Janeiro. It is worth noting that the investment was raised by the private sector. After all, it has great interest in the benefits that this port can bring.

New Fertilizer Factory and Natural Gas Processing Unit (UPGN) Promise a New Record in Job Creation

Macaé doesn’t stop and is always looking for new investments. Proof of this is that the municipality is experiencing a new stage of industrialization with the installation of a fertilizer factory and a Natural Gas Processing Unit (UPGN).

The viability of the fertilizer factory was approved in February during a meeting between the mayor and the Executive Secretary of the National Council of Fertilizers and Plant Nutrition, Pedro Veillard Farias. Through this project, Macaé will be responsible for reducing national dependence on fertilizer imports.

The new Natural Gas Processing Unit (UPGN), along with TEPOR, will constitute the largest natural gas hub in Brazil. Thus, new job vacancies will be fostered in the oil and gas sector in the municipality.

In addition, the new Southeast Thermal Park to be built in the coming years will produce energy for 14 gas-fired thermoelectric plants. Therefore, another allocation of thousands of job opportunities will be generated.
